Riccardo Calafiori has finalized a five-year contract with Arsenal, joining the squad in Philadelphia today. The agreement, valued at around £42 million, represents a significant investment by the club in the young Italian defender.
At just 22 years old, Calafiori brings versatility to the Arsenal defense, capable of performing effectively as both a centre-back and a left-back. His addition comes after a period of intense speculation linking him with the Gunners, and it marks the first signing of the summer under manager Mikel Arteta.
Calafiori's arrival follows an impressive season with Bologna, where his contributions were instrumental in the club's historic achievement of securing Champions League qualification for the first time in 60 years. His defensive prowess and potential make him a valuable asset for Arsenal as they aim to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
